What is the weight limit for trailers?
1 Answers
Different drive configurations of trailers have varying weight limits. For a six-axle train with a 6×4 drive configuration, the total mass limit is 49 tons, while for a 6×2 drive configuration, the limit is 46 tons. Below are some relevant details about trailers: Trailer Operation: It is best to lift the drive wheels before towing to avoid damaging the transmission. When a vehicle breaks down, the automatic transmission oil pump stops working, leading to insufficient lubrication and cooling of components. If the drive wheels remain on the ground during towing, the transmission will be forced to operate, which can cause damage after a certain distance. Monitor the Towed Vehicle: When towing, the lead vehicle must always consider the vehicle being towed behind. Starting and stopping should be done slowly and smoothly. Sudden starts can lead to secondary accidents, potentially damaging the tow rope or the towed vehicle.
